@@JeronWhite thanks!

@CustomCars717 thanks so much!

@czayfman Your Welcome 😁

@czayfman I was thinking if the front locations for the cab was a two part design that bolts in the middle you wouldn't need so much hight.

@CustomCars717 two part design?

@neilwainwright1455 That's a great idea... if the hoses would make that happen.. how I'm going to mount the radiator... As of right now, my thinking process.. there will be plenty of room from underneath to access the front of the engine.. as far as the engine being under the cab floor.. it will have a large access, engine cover so to speak, that will be removable.. just like the factory Ford truck had. 😊

@@czayfman most aluminium radiators you can adjust by removing the pre-fixed pipe entries and make your own fixing points can be anything you want and anywhere you want. My thinking would be to put the pipe entries on the side of the radiator and only on one side. Fixing you want a bush with a locking nut top and bottom so like your hinges then the other side would just have a bush with a lock that you can flick up to release giving you a gate affect. You don’t have to be running the engine while the gates open it would be possible for access to the engine would be more of a priority because taking the cap off every time you want to get to the engine is a nightmare

@neilwainwright1455 ill look into the design and see what's needed.. its definitely a cool idea!😎

@@czayfman then when you fit the cab floor you can fix it permanently and you don’t have to think about it coming out so you can change plugs

@@VinoRatRodbuilds thanks!

@kodak_jack thanks! Happy New year indeed!

@kodak_jack The water pump that's on the 305 is the stock unit. I have the pully somewhere.. and it will line up with the crank pully.. once the cab cradle and mounts are fully established.. The cab will come off and on with no worries about accuracy.. becuase they will be pinned using the mount points. It's just like a modern truck would be. The mic is definitely better! Thanks again for coming in and seeing the progress!

I also find I'm more chatty with the mic, meaning i explain more of yhe processes and why im doing what im doing. hoping that is well received... 😅

@ It’s all good. What are you going to do with the bigger backyard? Don’t turn it into a junk pile!

@kodak_jack no... not a junk yard🤣 having more backyards is always a plus... possable a few larger "sheds" like 12x40s... Either way, we have way more space back there!

@ronaldhackett7979 thanks for joining the channel! I'm a paint and.body guy.. since 1991... and mechanicals I've gotten more into over the last 5 years. Since taken on these frame swap type builds.. again, thank you for tuning in.. and the kind words!

@minitrucks9994 sounds good! I will be dropping the truck thru suspension.. most likely 3-inch drop blocks rear and 2 inch drop spindles in the front.

@mrchuckbiker5842 thanks so much for coming in and taking a peek! I think the suggestions on getting a mic was well over due! Thanks again for watching!

@@MichaelHigh-v9s i still have to pull the engine... give it another good scrubbing to paint it up.. and replaced everything that's leaking.. I may just give that a whirl.. thanks!

@@VinoRatRodbuilds thanks!

@neilwainwright1455 im a pretty small one man garage.. i don't see a laser cleaner in my future.. I haven't decided what route I'll be doing with the cab.. the chassis will be stripped down and coated.. once everything is mocked up.😊

@neilwainwright1455 I'm swapping out the intake.. resealing the covers, oil pan, and the likes.. I wont be blowing apart the entire engine... ill be doing a compression test once I get the tester in. As far as the 700r4, I'm gonna change the fluid and run it and see how that goes.. the fluid is extremely clean..... if down the road it needs rebuilt. I'll address it then.. thanks for the comment.😊

@kodak_jack the mic is better for sure!

@jamesferrell9404 no.. unfortunately. The plate hits the mechanical fuel pump mounting surface.. I tried a few different ways of bolting.. or attempting to bolt up the plates after seeing the oil pan clearance issues.

@kodak_jack 🤣.. yea.. mornings around 40ish.. by the afternoon, it's hitting 60 to 70.. that Florida Life..😊

@VinoRatRodbuilds yep.. doesn't need a bunch of HP.. just to cruise around.. its about the smiles per miles..😊

Yep 😂

@aliciaritchie8676 i did on the GMC.. ended up with a Silverado chassis. I really just want a small sized truck.. I had the s10 frame.. and slowly figuring out to make it work..

👍

@kodak_jack this Ford build im keeping the engine under the cab. Being a shorter frame i believe I'd run out of room from the back of the transmission to rear end.. ill be making the inside floor panels, hopefully, removable.. they the Ford had before. Ill look into a wireless mic.. my wife said the same thing. 😆

@@czayfman If I crank up the volume to hear what you're saying, it blasts my ear drums when the music comes on. I really like your series, but the volume thing can be annoying. Thanks. Have a good Christmas and New Year.

@kodak_jack this was after the linear actuator. The Dakota Digital was to let me know what gear i was in. It didn't actually do anything for shifting. The Lokar shifter is extremely stout. The floor is 16ga sheet.. and was plenty strong enough to keep it from wobbling. Overall I would definitely use that shifter in the future. And most likely will with the Ford. 😊COE project

@@kodak_jack yep... I did a trade deal with the 63 VW Bus before I did that...

@@kodak_jack 🤣.. I try

@kodak_jack it looked ok in person.. the "factory" style ones i did install looked more better. 😆

@kodak_jack thanks! I generally like to figure things out myself.. sometimes I'll just stare at things until I work it out in my head.. then just go for it.. anything can be fixed.. if done wrong..🤣 There is a huge community that does do transit van conversions into camper vans.. we even thought about it with our transit. Thanks again for the compliment!

@ I meant the kinds of conversion stuff that used to be done “back in the day”. The ones done in England were pretty nice, but they were done waaay back when the Transit was first introduced. Bought new, they’re way more expensive than they should be. Then again, everything has gotten out of hand price wise.

@kodak_jack gotcha... there was definitely a "cool" factor to the older style vans from back in the day. And I agree.. with costs of everything threw the roof now.. not many are willing to "customize" a new transit.. heck you can buy them already done now a days from the Factory.. like Spinter vans.. at an inflated amount of money.. 😅

@kodak_jack ahhh.. I gotcha.. with the fuel pressures.. I personally like the an fittings vs barbed ends..Evil Energy sells value priced fittings.. off Amazon and they work prefect. And seem to be alot "easier" to put together.. I use the black braided lines and I find those easier to put the ends on.. vs the pure stainless steel lines.. even the PTFE lines I did for the power steering went relatively easy. Being open space around the engine definitely has its advantages.

@@kodak_jack also I didn't have any special tools to put these lines together. Like "AN" wrenches or anything..

@kodak_jack overall this sniper unit isn't bad at all.. most issues I've seen are user error... follow the instructions and its usually right as rain.

I don't believe i do.. since i don't have any vaccum lines coming off the carburetor.. they are all capped. And this distributor doesn't have a vacuum advance on it.. once I start it up again.. ill give that area a squit of some spray around the Carburetor.. and see if the base gasket is leaking... honestly.. how this was out together.. I wouldn't be surprised. 😢

@ as you give it gas it’s building pressure but as you let off it’s loosing. There’s a leak somewhere

@neilwainwright1455 ill definitely spray around it then.. thanks for the info.. 😊

@@czayfman I would check everywhere that something bolts to the block and any seems. Until you engine is fully warmed up and working hard you probably won’t notice where the leak is but by that point it could have a catastrophic failure

@neilwainwright1455 gotcha.. the engine has many signs that it's been rebuilt.. as well as the previous owner said it was..ill see if I can find anything..

@@VinoRatRodbuilds it certainly was!

@kodak_jack thanks for the info. I used R134 since it was all new stuff.. we are already using the R1234y at work and have the proper machine for that. The ac was ice cold and didn't have any issues.

@@kodak_jack i fight those doors until the end.. finally got them to shut decent.. the bear claw latches from Altman are great!

@kodak_jack really? I guess someone is making money with ad clicks... its definitely not me.. 🤣

@kodak_jack to me, they didn't seem loud.. maybe because it's in a metal building?

@kodak_jack the seat riser and along the door openings i put rubber seals.. that i used interior screws to fasten it down.. I didn't use.any type.of spary glue or anything.. basically like any other interior vehicle carpet. Hope that helps

@bobleeswoodshop7919 thanks for the comment. I have two choices.. since i already have them both. A 305, which i was told runs... but have never tried to fire it over in the last 4 years I've had it. Or a 283 that smokes a little on startup I was told.. 700r4 for the transmission... so it's up in the air... either engine i think I'll have to "freshen" up a bit

@ both are good my truck I was able to get a crate motor from summit racing one of the 200 hr powered! I have a turbo 350 transmission in mine! Cameo sub from a 1980 !

@bobleeswoodshop7919 I'm working on the..."if I have it already, I'll use it" budget"... 🤣 Sounds like you have a great setup!

@ I am looking forward to seeing what you doing in your future videos! Thanks for sharing your adventures!

@bobleeswoodshop7919 thanks for popping in and sharing yours. 😊

@kodak_jack the upper lights in the bed rails I ran threw the stake posts... as far as the tail lights they were ran along that back panel.

@kodak_jack the paint code for this orange is a BASF color code 4516. I color matched it at work. I painted the rear diff cover at work. When it came to matching the "patina" the Rustoleum Rustic Orange was spot on.. and being rattle cans I could do the brush stroke thing much easier than with regular basecoat.

@kodak_jack thanks for the comment.. in the end, it was well worth the time and effort!

@kodak_jack I've had this frame sitting out back for a few years now.. the s10 are easy to find in my area.. especially the reg cab short beds. Most want the reg cab long bed for the 3100 trucks. Silverado frames are much harder to come by. Plus, I wanted a smaller truck.. I'll work out the front wheels using backspacing. Thanks for the comment.

@@czayfman I guess it would be a lot of work for you, but on the GMC build, you didn't show the tons of sheet metal fab and repair that you did. Those of us who watch builds by others don't mind watching that kind of stuff. For each video you put out, you're making money and we enjoy seeing it all. Thanks.

@kodak_jack your right.. by time I started posting up the gmc most of yhe metal work was done.. yhe 442 build shows a bunch of metal work and rust repairs.. as far as this build goes.. it will be like the 442.. showing the metal work.. what would work or not.. by my mistakes.. 🤣. As of right now.. I don't make any money off the channel.. it takes alot of subscribers and a bunch more watch hours.. this video is actually doing amazing... which in turn wants me to create more videos on it...

@tn65s i didn't plan on doing a tilt cab set up. At this point, I'm not 100% sure how that would all work in conjunction with each other. I know the steering and brake master are on my mind.. as well as possable moving the cab up off the frame another 4 inches for the engine placement. Ill be dropping with 2ibch front spindles and blocks in the rear..

@@czayfman The only hard point is the universal for the steering column, it needs to lineup with the pivot point on the cab, the brakes are just flex lines. You need to find a ford C series cab over and it will be self explanatory. It would be a hell of a cool truck for not that much work.

@@eddiedebeer1709 thanks for checking out out!

Thanks for your patience. I'm glad you're here!😊

That’s a great idea. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to keep the heat down on that engine cover I'll need to build.. I'll definitely look into that product! Thanks for sticking around seeing what I get up to in my shop!😊

I looked up that product on Amazon.. its priced perfectly for what it does! I'll be picking it up for sure.. thanks for the info!

Wear long sleeve shirt and a respirator It's like working with fiberglass insulation. I washed my clothes and they were still itchy after washing them. FyI

@@VinoRatRodbuilds will do!

I'm going to put a SEM product rubberized texture over the insulation after I have it installed, to seal in the fibers from shedding. I'm going to do the work this weekend and post a video. 👍

@@VinoRatRodbuilds thanks... it sure is😊

@@VinoRatRodbuilds thanks brotha!

@442olds7 I pieced together 2 beetles back when I was around 11.. never saw the road.. ive been wanting a VW bus for the past 5 to 6 years. I'm glad I now have one... im not digging the hard to get in reverse thing.. ill get that figured out.

@@czayfman Noddle shifter?

@442olds7 it's really sloppy and tricky to get into reverse. im gonna pull it apart this weekend and see if the shifter plate is in the wrong way. I guess that's a common issue when people replace everything. It appears to be brand new..

@VinoRatRodbuilds thanks so much! Doing what I can. With what I had. Its gonna look prefect.

@nickkonwent7387 thanks so much!
